The trend of the day
Many prisoners of war captured by the two warring parties in Ukraine since the Russian invasion are being subjected to torture and ill-treatment, the UN warned on Tuesday.
Matilda Bogner, who heads the Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, described at length the abuse suffered by prisoners of war on both sides, some of whom were piled into trucks, others beaten or stripped or tortured with electricity.
Over the past few months, the mission has interviewed 159 POWs (139 men and 20 women) held by Russia and its affiliated armed groups and 175 POWs (all men) captured by Ukraine.
The mission was granted unimpeded access to the places of internment of prisoners of war controlled by the Ukrainian government, but the United Nations, despite its requests, has still not been granted confidential access to prisoners of war interned by Russia and its affiliated armed groups.
However, the mission met with Ukrainian prisoners of war who had been released.
Matilda Bogner said those detained by Russian forces were tortured "quite systematically".
"The vast majority" of those interviewed captured by Russian forces and its allied armed groups "told us that they had been tortured and ill-treated during their internment", she added.
Not only to extort information from them, but also to “intimidate and humiliate” them on a daily basis.
